     This Registration  Statement as originally filed related to the offering of
6,200,000  shares of FON Common Stock and 10,400,000  shares of PCS Common Stock
issuable  under the Sprint  Retirement  Savings  Plan and the Sprint  Retirement
Savings Plan for Bargaining Unit Employees.

     On  February  28,   2004,   Sprint's   board  of  directors   approved  the
recombination  of the PCS Common  Stock and the FON Common  Stock,  effective on
April 23, 2004 (the  "Conversion  Date").  All of the shares of FON Common Stock
covered by this Registration Statement have been issued. 8,074,528 shares of PCS
Common Stock were issued before the Conversion Date, leaving 2,325,472 shares of
PCS Common Stock.  Following the  recombination  of the PCS Common Stock and the
FON Common Stock, no shares of PCS Common Stock may be issued. Accordingly,  the
purpose of this  Post-Effective  Amendment No. 1 is to deregister  the remaining
2,325,472 shares of PCS Common Stock covered by this Registration Statement.
